So, while I no longer own an FF5...I do own this. There is nothing wrong with owning that!! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouschi Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If anyone has a low grade CGC version of FF5 they are willing to part with, please let me know - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgross.com Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) i wonder why there are so many high grade ff5s out there, when there are so few ff1s. did people back in 1962 really figure out within the span of just a couple issues that it might be good to keep your ff books in nice condition?

I wonder where Magneto would stand had he appeared in another X-Men book instead of #1? Doom and Magneto have to be the 2 greatest villains in all of Marveldom Congrats! I agree about Magneto. He gets a tiny bit lost in the shuffle. You don't typically hear X-men 1 referred to as the first appearance of Magneto. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to use this book as part of a deal with a local dealer who has a JIM 83 in the same grade. What do you think the trade value is for the FF5? Could change dramatically in the near term...I just lost my crystal ball. Thoughts? Just for information, a 5.5 sold yesterday for $13200 per GPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie123 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Long ago an 8 sold for $2000. A 6 recently sold for 3200. What is an 8 worth. Any guesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA can help on an 8.0 value, but lately GPA has been behind considerably on many red hot silver age keys. With Marvel rebooting FF, there is no doubt Dr. Doom should ascend to new heights of glory or unglory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 How is that only a 6.5!?!? To be honest with you, it looks better than my 7.5. Maybe the back cover has something to do with the grade? If so, who cares!!! It's all about the front cover Albert Thurgood and jeranimal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when I collected as a kid either sports cards or comics, if I was building a set, I would always put the #1 issue or card on top and the rest to follow underneath. I imagine that would probably be the reason why few FF1's exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Many moons ago at one of the early forum dinners in Philly, Doug Schmell brought his 9.4 FF5 (I believe it was the White Mountain copy) and the 9.6 FF1. I took a pic holding both of them, but it’s lost on a long gone PC. Wish I still had that pic. Those were incredible books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
